Crimes Against Humanity in International Criminal Law

In this revised edition, Professor Bassiouni persuasively establishes the legal validity of the Nuremberg Charter and describes the evolution of "crimes against humanity" from 1945 to the 1998 ICC Statute. The book's comprehensive historical and legal analysis starts with the origins of that crime in the international regulation of armed conflicts and covers the Nuremberg, Tokyo and Allied Prosecutions after World War II, subsequent national prosecutions, as well as the Statutes of the ICTY, ICTR and their jurisprudence, and the Statute of the ICC.
